Purusha Pretham

Wow! Just wow! A one-of-a-kind attempt in Malayalam Cinema or even Indian cinema. An experimental film and a successful experiment too. It literally takes the police procedural genre for a twist with a good mix of comedy and mystery. There are a lot of one-liners and situational comedies that will make you laugh. The performances are all too good and the soundtrack is just too good. Cannot wait for the soundtrack and songs to come out. Don't think too much guys. Just try this film and have a good laugh forgetting everything. This was the funniest movie to come out this year after Romancham. Highly recommended.

Indeed an Interesting movie, humorous, unique way of storytelling and really loved the cast and plot. The cast and crew all have done justice to the role. The movie has a satirical feel also. All together ,a perfect cast are being crafted and approached by the makers. Super Sebastian ,the super cop played by Prashanth Alexander is the heart of the film.

Krishand ,the Director has created a universe which is dark and comical in its own way that has to be appreciated. The film is shot in a noir style. Darshana, as susanna has played the character so well that has worked out great for the film.

It is a must watch comedy thriller. Just give a try you won't be disappointed.

Director Krishand outdoes himself once again in his third outing which centres around a loophole within the justice system. Purusha Pretham is such an outstanding package of a film - it has incredible performances, unique shots and camera angles, a fantastic score (by Ajmal Hasbullah), humour that arises organically within the screenplay, and even elements of a procedural thriller. In a style that worked wonders in Aavasavyuham, Krishand his writer Ajith Haridas put together a biting satire on the police and judicial systems, delivering comedy, thrills, and drama in equal measure. Purusha Pretham marks Krishand's direct entry into the commercial side of cinema, and without a doubt, this would have absolutely worked in theatres, probably emerging a sleeper hit.

I can't help but the laud the ENTIRE CAST - special mentions to Prashant Alexander, Jagadeesh, Jeo Baby, Darshana, and Devaki - for delivering brilliant performances. Those quick cuts (of hospital reports & bills, FIR copies, engagement invites, and newspaper clippings) were a nice touch, adding important details in such a diminutive way. The green and red colours (as seen on the poster) are prominent especially in the night shots, giving the film a neo-noir treatment. There's also the unconventional placement of characters on either edges of the frame. The attempt to create a distinct audio-visual palette is quite evident and the hip-hop & synth-infused music, I thought, was a terrific decision. I look forward to the day Krishand decides to collaborate with one of the Big Ms.

Found it to be very hilarious. The black humour in it really worked out for me. I was LOLing in many scenes and dialogues. All the performances were good especially the guy who played the lead police character, the leading lady and the other policeman. The frames and all were very unique kind. Also the background music and songs of the movie. It elevated the film to next level. There is everything in the film. Comedy, twists, romance, songs. It is a complete entertainer to watch together with your friends. There is lot of laugh if you connect with the type of humour in the movie. Must watch definitely.

Krishand, the upcoming promising director once again mesmerized me with his new outcome, Purusha Pretham (Male Ghost). Unlike Vrithaakrithiyilulla Chathuram, Aavasavyooham Krishand changes his path into a neo-noir like crime, drama, or comedy thriller. I love the way of his narrative style and storytelling pattern. The movie talks about the life of a policeman named Sebastian (not only about his own story but also there lies the lives of entire police officers) who is on an investigation or quest to find out the traces and background of an unidentified dead body. Initially, that was not his intention but when the character of Darshana Rajendran comes he was insisted on doing so. The film also projects the inefficiency of the police departments while carrying such kind of issue. Great applause for the wonderful performance from Alexander Prasanth who did the role of Sebastian. Along with him, I love the acting of Jagadeesh who is well fitted in the character of a civil police officer, Dileep. Not only these two guys all the other characters justified their roles pretty well. When it comes to the technical side of the movie I feel strange about the disparate framing of the shots. The character is placed at one corner of the frame and other areas are completely vacant. I feel awful at the initial moment but when the movie goes nothing bothered me at all. The background score comes at regular intervals and feels some kind of rap mode in me. Comic scenes are not used intentionally but the humor revolving around those characters makes me laugh at some points. I like the film because of the disparate way of portrayal. A good, experimental one and surely a study material for the novices who are about to come to the industry.
